Nora Lindström (@urbanopolista) is interested in all things urban. She recently moved back to Helsinki, after spending eight years working on urban poverty and land rights issues in Cambodia and Malawi. She is currently doing a PhD at the University of Helsinki, with a focus on the underestimation of urban poverty in Lilongwe, Malawi. She spends her spare time trying to keep her plants alive and blogging at urbanopolista.com and returntohel.com.
